Provides firmware compliance and the ability to connect to iPO
I've been involved in various upgrades. It's pretty easy to set up with vCenter. We just push out an appliance template in vCenter. We run ours on virtual servers. Deployment can be done by just one person. The number of people needed for maintenance will depend on your server inventory. If you have more than 100 servers, you will need three to five people. If you have 500 to 1,000 servers, you will need a team of 10 to 20 people.
Rahul -Jain - PeerSpot reviewer
Good for application Performance Monitoring but not stable
There are two types of teams we have in every organization. One is for DevOps, and the second one is for performance testing. Those who are using these tools, like AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or whatever tool we have on the APM side. These tools are used by two teams: one is the performance team, and another one is the DevOps team. So, the setup and the alert system belong to the DevOps team, not for performance. So, I don't use any alerts in AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or any of the tools.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I don't have to use CD-ROMs or anything like that to provision the servers."
"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."
"By being able to deploy servers very quickly and rapidly, we can respond to any business requirement needed."
"We could literally swap out a piece of hardware, slide one back into the chassis, and immediately - about three reboots later - it was identical. We didn't have to worry about configuring it, we didn't have to spend any time getting anything into place. It came back and it healed the environment almost immediately."
"​We cannot function without this solution. ​"
"The most valuable features of HPE OneView are environment monitoring, the ease of firmware upgrade, and the ability to manage all the servers and the infrastructure from one team."
"Gives the business interfaces to view real-time pictures of IT business services."
"OneView provides a single console, which is manageable without physical access."
"It has given us better insight into the performance of the system."
"The versatility of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"Working with the solution is very easy. It's user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the New Relic APM module to deep-dive into the application, to get bottlenecks to the surface, and to improve application performance. Also, the New Relic Insights module creates a real-time dashboard on application performance to create awareness for the DevOps team."
"It allows the restriction of privileges and control of users."
"It is a software solution as a service, so I don't have to manage it on-premise."
"One valuable feature is that the synthetic alert stays open until the issue is resolved. You can actually monitor whether your system is back up."
"The service maps that it creates, the health maps that it creates, the insights that it provides, etc., are all quite useful."
 

Cons

"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."
"​There was a feature called HPE cloud manager, but now it is owned by Micro Focus. HPE should make a cloud optimizer again."
"Those features, coming in version 4, that we're looking for are the discovery, primarily. But I think the scope-based access control is of interest, although, we didn't see any directory integration, so that, in itself, seems like it's still limited."
"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."
"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."
"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."
"The tool doesn't send automated alerts via email...We should be able to receive notification emails when a server or hardware issue arises, which would be helpful if someone is unavailable in the office."
"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."
"The monitoring is only as good as the alerts that it produces. By having it set up fine grain alerting, it is a bit of a pain."
"They should bring the pricing down to be more competitive."
"There were some settings we had issues with."
"I would like to see the company implement the AI auto-baseline feature which Dynatrace has."
"One thing I'd like to see in any APM, especially New Relic, is the ability to use distributed transactions. When one microservice calls another, it calls another database and microservice. The entire data visualization layer will not be able to correlate from one microservice from end to end and return on that path. Distributed transactions would be a great addition that would make life simpler. Unfortunately, no APM has that end-to-end capability."
"It is a serious tool and requires a lot of time invested in order to understand how it works."
"I would like an infrastructure network that provides real-time views, showing the issues."
"It would help customers if there were an on-premises version available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"​Use it. It is free."
"When it comes to the government, money is never an issue, so it was excellent in terms of the HPE OneView licensing cost. Hitachi was cheaper, but I'd rate HPE OneView cost-wise as eight out of ten."
"HPE could lower the price."
"The solution is free to use, but if you want the management aspect you require a virtual machine such as C7000 or Synergy which require licenses."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"Because of budget, we are not using the mobile app part of this tool."
"I think the pricing is reasonable."
"They gave us aggressive discounts when they were brought in for the first time, but they have also kept them for the year-on-year renewals, which has been absolutely fine."
"The price depends on how many agents you want."
"Pricing is better with New Relic APM than Dynatrace."
"The pricing and licensing are too high."
"I think it's overpriced for the technical support that we get. We spent over 1,00,000 USD a year."
"There is a picture which goes to your browser and it monitors requests from other users. However, it's impossible to use now because the price is very high. The feature is very nice, but I tried it during the trial period, and the current price makes it impossible to use."
